A 62-year-old homeless man was charged Friday with deception against an elderly person in connection with a Skokie incident, and police are asking for others who think they may have been swindled by him to come forth.

Marin Ghimes is being held without bond by the Cook County sheriff’s department on the felony charge, according to the sheriff’s department website.

Sheriff’s office spokeswoman Sophia Ansari said Ghimes was at Rush North Shore Medical Center, as of Nov. 7.

Ghimes was wanted for similar crimes in two other states, Skokie police said in a news release on the department’s Facebook page.

According to the release, Skokie police were contacted Oct. 31 about suspicious activity involving Ghimes, who they listed as having no permanent address.

Ghimes allegedly got an elderly individual to pay for a hotel room in Skokie but failed to reimburse the person as promised, police said in the release.

Skokie police said Ghimes is wanted on six warrants in Texas and Florida for similar crimes. His criminal history, according to the release, indicates that he has been committing these types of crimes all across the country since 1992.

Police said the outstanding warrants are not extraditable.

Ghimes presents himself as wheelchair-bound and could be aided by others when he commits his crimes, police said in the release.

He has used alias names such as “Michael Messina” and “Peter Deluca,” according to the release.

According to police, Ghimes typically befriends elderly individuals while in a hospital or church, promising to repay them for hotel room stays. The individuals often pay for his room with cash or a credit card and are not repaid, the release states.

Ghimes has also been known to dupe people into purchasing luxury vehicles with promises of repayment, according to police.

Through their investigation, Skokie police said they learned Ghimes recently attended mass at an area church. He has also been seen at Skokie Hospital and Alexian Brothers Medical Center in Elk Grove Village.

Police said the investigation is ongoing. Those with information about Ghimes or who believe they may have been scammed by him are asked to call Skokie police at 847-982–5900 or Detective Sean Gibson at 847-982- 5951.
